IpoopThere4Iam Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) On my way home from work this afternoon. Stopped at an unbroken white line, waiting for a gap to turn left. A second or two later I'm rocked by a solid hit from behind courtesy of an inattentive driver in a late model 5 door Nissan Patrol. Rounded the corner & pulled into a driveway to exchange details and this is the damage done. C-pillar and roof-line don't have any discernible creases or dents, and as far as I can tell the floor-pan is fine. Boot-lid closes and latches, but with a decent gap on the drivers side and a crease on the underside where the boot surround has peaked above the tail-light. Tail, brake & indicator lights all functioning, still roadworthy. I've put a lot of time and effort into this car and am considerably upset by this, what do you guys think? Repairable or write-off? The Chameleon paint was laid on the June long-weekend, hadn't even finished cutting & buffing it.

jmknights93 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Far out! I don't suppose this was around our area was it? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/465780-r32-gts-shunted-write-off/#findComment-7757138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
admS15 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hard to see much from those pics but from what I can see it does look repairable. Why dont you swing it past a panel shop and see what they say.

Wetherill park, about 1K south of the reservoir. I haven't installed those injectors yet, but they look immaculate. Depending on the outcome, they may end up in another r32.
